I have cut them before,
Teebag has cut ones too  tho car was too low so we raised it up a tiny bit  |
How would you go around cutting them? could just grind them not sure if it's the best way though.

if you cut the bump stop it would void the warranty.
better to hit the bump stop than bottoming out the dampers.

Does the car actually have a warrenty? it's nearly 10 years and I wouldn't ever take it to a pug garage anyway.

i though you just install some new dampers
anyway that doesn't make any difference. hitting the bump stop is better than bottoming out.

Seriously, they are there for a reason! Even if you cut them off, and your car will go lower, you'll be hitting metal, which will be worse. Through experience i know your axle will not last.

Didn't want to cut them off I'm not completely retarded
When you look at them they are pretty huge, just wondered if you can shrink them a bit whilst still keeping the rubber stopping force but allow more travel. Didn't know if it would benefit at all.

you would just put more force to the piston. there is a reason why the bump stop is that long.
